The best thing about these dark days is how awesome my bike looks.

If you’re looking for a good Christmas present for someone who likes to eat a lot of plants then I recommend The Veggie Chinese Takeaway Cookbook. Who doesn’t like Chinese takeaway? I made the hoisin sauce today then used it in one of the recipes and it was a hit with the entire family. Daniel then spent the next 30 minutes flicking through the book with great excitement over the number of cauliflower recipes. Daniel is surely the only 13-year-old on the planet whose favourite food is cauliflower.

Is the cookbook vegan?
Ah, I just looked again – vegan and vegetarian.
Yes it’s both but I would say it’s mostly vegan. The Chinese don’t use dairy products and so the only thing in some recipes that isn’t vegan is egg and this is easy to leave out or substitute. There’s also honey in some recipes but that’s also easy to substitute.
I love the Christmas cargo bike!
